Your going about this the wrong way, buy a good caravan and stick it in the garden for the family and take the front windows out of the house, replace them with garage doors and your sorted ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm actually not asking for the impossible. This house we looked at a few months back was 10minutes drive from the center of town on 5acres:

It has a largish double garage beside the house, and this behind it ...

That's a 30metre long, 8metre wide shed, with a huge access door so tractors and machinary can fit in it (so obviously cars hoists and mezanine floors would also be possible). SWMBO didn't like the house though :( :( :( Yes I did say 30metres long... you could park 6 XM wagons nose to tail down the length of the shed :o

That was was about 160,000 pounds in your money.

Now that is a nice shed. Perfect. I would be making an executive decision if I were you Shane that you have to live there, or compromise and be allowed to build a shed like that in the back garden of any new house you move to.

Yeah it's nice to dream... Hopefully sometime this year we'll shift. This is what I've been stuck with for the last 10years :(

Image

That's all it is ... that little shed up behind the gate...... Oh yeah the sh!t on the gate will only need there for a few weeks until this grows enough not to fit through the holes in the gate.

Image

Anyway, we were talking about workshops... This is mine :(

Yeah I hope it doesn't fall down due to all the stuff I've hung off the walls and rafters too :lol:
